Drag force

Input(s)

ρ\rho: Density of the Fluid (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

v: Speed of the Object Relative to the Fluid (m/s)

Cd\boldsymbol{C}_{\boldsymbol{d}}: Drag Coefficient (dimensionless)

A: Cross Sectional Area (m2)\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)

Output(s)

FD\boldsymbol{F}_{\boldsymbol{D}}: Drag Force (N)

Formula(s)

FD=(12)ρv2Cd A\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) * \rho * \mathrm{v}^{2} * \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{d}} * \mathrm{~A}
